Any reason not to special order?
I have been looking at trucks for a month or two and can't find exactly what I want. I'm picky, and I figure if I'm buying something new that's my right. I am planning on going tomorrow again and if they can't find what I want, ordering one. I have always heard you don't get as good of a deal that way but every truck I have found thats close to what I want has had extras that drive the price up anyway. The only other thing is waiting for 2-3 months, but I have an extra car so that's not a big deal. What's your opinions?
Oh, might as well list what I have to have, not negotiable.
Black or the metallic black
Rcsb
4x4
5.3/6l80e
WT (easier to paint match and cheaper)
Power Windows/locks
Dark cloth interior
Carpet
Cd/mp3 player
And I want the g80, but I can deal with a one legger until I throw a tru trac in.

No reason that I can see not to order, other than the wait. The other thing is that you are subject to the rebates available when the truck arrives. Might be good rebates when you order, but not so much when it shows.
Ordering you usually can get invoice price or very close to it, plus the rebates at the time and you can get what you want.

Also when you buy your truck use Ally's financing to get best rebates then go to your credit union or bank and refi for a lower payment. ALWAYS go for max rebates then refinance when you leave.
Also are you only looking at Chevy? Why not check chevy and GMC to open your options.
